I don't use provoke, I just also put on my tank stance. What? The aggro is going back and forth between us? All you have to do is do more damage than me. Easy! 😁
Honestly, I just let it happen. Especially to parsers who don’t turn off their stance while being the OT. It’ll mess up the mechanic and get most people killed. Then it’ll go from me getting mad at the OT to everyone getting mad at the OT
My favorite thing is when a tank and i are fighting for threat the entire fight without even usong provoke 🤣 shows whether or not you know your rotation
That's fine. Just use provoke right back. You have the same button. Their provoke is now on cooldown and they can't use it for what, 30 seconds? And by the time it comes back, so does yours.
This is also why I love JP alliance raids b/c it's universal that alliance B tank is the main tank. Hard pass doing alliance anywhere else where griefing is the norm.
meanwhile me as a GNB having to double weave tank stance every random moment so I dont gain the first aggro because of dps in savage content (they offered me to be main tank and I refused because I have the oportunity to click even more buttons now)
I dont mind if people want to main tank an alliance raid, go ahead king. But for the love of god if your stance was off for the first two bosses, I will eat you alive if you start provoking on the third.
As a tank main this happens alot in normal runs by policy i allow the higher item level to MT but dispite that the other wants to fight for aggro then cause distraction then in some cases a wipe and look who gets blamed in the end this is essentially bad when they got tank stance up when not needed now i just dont care anymore they do it i shirk them and drop stance and this has lead to alot rookie tanks cause wipes in savage and i told them hey you want the job take it not my conduct on the line now
My dad once said if someone ask for road give them and don’t disturb the traffic. I have the same mentality here if offtank wants aggro be it intentionally or not give it to them. That’s the best experience you can provide for your party😂
had a void ark raid where one tank was a sprout who was learning, which was perfectly okay, but the other tank was just trolling. I kept provoking from the troll to try and keep some control, but he would just voke back. The provokes were always on CD…. and he kept positioning the bosses perfectly in the best ways to ensure confusion and death for majority of the players 🙃
Aggro fights are fun its not like tanks have anything else to do. I love fighting for aggro but i dont use provoke its more fun to rip using my rotation.
I feel attacked because it's DRK lol. I main DRK but provoke is a manual click for me so I rarely use it unless I notice our tank is fucking up (due to the influx of sprouts it happens alot more they don't pop mit for busters and the healers are having to hard cast)
Gotta love the tanks that wait for you to pull the undead dragon in the tower alliance raid,run all the way to the last square just to see they used provoke keeping him on the main stage.
I think the one time I actively participated with provoke in a provoke war was after the other alliance tank decided it would be fine to provoke the hydra and angry maiju on cooldown in WoD and keep sniping DPS. So I just timed the provoke to right after theirs so I could immediately redirect if it was safe to do so.
as a mentor, when someone steals my aggro, I usually manage to recover it at some point in the fight with DPS and when the person uses it, I use it too and they end up running out of aggro and furious lmao
I don't know what's going on but there's an influx of slightly confused tanks. My favourite is the ones that don't quite try to steal aggro but stand on top of you taking all the hits anyway like.. bro just take the boss then 😂

I WILL CHUCK MY SHOULDER PADS AT YOU. TURN OFF YOUR STANCE I HAD MINE FIRST. STOP PROVOKING IT YOURE GONNA DIE.

don't fear the reaper, fear the DRK

Tfw then the dps goes hard on an enemy you havent targetted yet and stays behind to 1v1 it: 👁️👄👁️ but why you do this
I just do it intentionally if they actually get pissed about it

When Bruce Dickinson says he needs more aggro, I think we better give it to him.
Every roulette

And that one DPS in the back saying we need more provoke

Meanwhile the rest of the party is watching in curiosity as their aggro indicator starts to change colors.
I used provoke 3/4 through a trial, and the main tank said “Provoke is not a part of a Tanks rotation”.
I don’t know why people get so salty. It’s not like I’m spamming provoke if they want aggro.
Naa manstrong tank can hold it with out offtank ever getting it – but truely needs hc rotations

Tbf my friend is anxious mt’ing. I’m doing them a favor.
at this point, i just let them tank unless they suck bad

Or when the main tank is dying…
Me maining a dps and venturing into dark knight, yet not doing dungeons on dk and treating it like a tanky dps😅

I swear If I am main tanking and a mech doesn't require tank swap plz don't voke…
Oh I can off tank?
Hell yeah Blue DPS time.
I usually just shirk it off to them if I see they use provoke. Less work for me

honestly its more tanks trying to establish dominance against each other.
Once i see other tanks turn on their stance i always dont use mine, but my fc leader told me to keep it on to assert the domination he said 😂
Annoying the melees more I think
Any main tank would love to have me as their off tank. No. Seriously. I'm not into this BS.
Provoke should only be used when a tank swap is needed!
When you somehow out damage DRK on Pal for aggro and they can't let that disrespect slide. 😂
As the main tank, I can confirm that I have taken provoke off of my hot bar
